Poroshenko on the fabricated “coal case”: this is a show of power to distract from real threats

The so-called “coal case” is an attempt by the authorities to distract attention from the real threats to Ukraine and to block the activities of the opposition leader.

This is how Petro Poroshenko commented on the court hearing on this case.

“The authorities are interested in what the authorities can do – TV series. TV series that they have been making since 2019. Which at that time they thought looked like comedies, but today, I emphasize this, it is a psychological thriller with elements of horror,” the fifth President commented on today’s court hearing.

“What is this being done for? Two goals. The first goal is to distract your attention. You should talk about the mythical Poroshenko trial, and not about the real threats to the existence of our state. I emphasize, not for our victory, but the very fact of the state’s existence today is under threat,” he emphasized.

“I emphasize that the author of the script and director of this dirty, stinking show is Portnov. A man who worked for the FSB, a man who is a representative of Russia, a man against whom the US imposed sanctions and a man who was not just Yanukovych’s legal adviser. This is a man who was the main pillar of the punitive, legal and extra-judicial system.”

“Look at who is the author of the cases that were so carefully listed to discredit Poroshenko and try to isolate him. This is Shufrich, this is Sivkovich, this is Derkach, this is Kuzmin, this is Portnov, who personally or through his relatives wrote the corresponding statements. Where are all these gentlemen now? By the way, Kiva is sitting in Russia,” Poroshenko noted.

“I am very sorry that among all the people who have presented false information with which the authorities have tried to deal with us, they are not trying to bring them to criminal responsibility,” he noted.

“Let me remind you, a few words about this case. This case is the grave of the Prosecutor Generals. Four Prosecutor Generals tried to somehow get involved in this case and ran away from it like the devil from incense. I can only support the words of the former Prosecutor General, 100% Zelensky’s man, Ryaboshapka – that nothing very, legal. gives such an assessment of the work of investigators on order.

“Then there was Venediktova, who could not bring herself to sign these legal documents. And when she had to sign, she was forced to run away on vacation. Then there was Kostin, they say different things about him, but his signature is not on a single procedural document,” he said.

The fifth President of Ukraine emphasized that the prosecution representatives came to this hall in defiance of the requirements of the law.

“They issue summonses for non-existent dates. They replace the court. They have one thing – a show. And the second – the elimination of the opposition leader on the political landscape. Because they hoped to do this with sanctions, they did not succeed. Now they have the second part of the “Marlezon ballet”, – he said.

“Advice to the authorities: get busy with air defense. Advice: get busy with building fortifications. Advice: slap your thieves who stole the army’s supplies. Advice: get busy with restoring diplomacy, which you have dragged into a deep Ukrainian crisis, by bringing in competent and professional people.” “EU”.
